From news, to shitposting, to memes, to more shitposting, Lemmy feels vibrant, active, lighthearted, fun and even powerful. Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.

        I would love for some interoperable interface with a few default choices and then the option to load customized open source options!

      It stems from a somewhat reactionary (in a “I don’t want chemicals in my food” way) prospective where they knew the outcome of algorithms was bad but didn’t understand why it was bad. Now they have their own algorithm and it’s repeating a lot of the same mistakes.

        The chemicals analogy is actually pretty genius!

          We’ve all seen a “I don’t want chemicals in my food” reactionary. They’re not racist or anything just fueled more by anger than by principal.
